It is very rare that I buy prepared foods- mostly because I cannot control the added ingredients and of course because I love cooking. However, there are certain foods that I can never picture making on my own, and homemade ravioli is one of those foods: way too ambitious! Sometimes I buy something prepared and … Continue reading →

I did not have a chance to post this last week, but our Super Bowl party was a success. The company and food were both great! Like I mentioned in an earlier post, I did not really care so much about the game, but surprisingly, I watched almost all of it, except the times I … Continue reading →
